‘We still have people asking if I was the one who wrote it’ – can Tripadvisor reviews still make or break Irish businesses?

Picture the scene. You’re planning a hotel break, find a great spot and pull it up on Tripadvisor to check the reviews, only to see this: “Hygiene is zero. Algae on all steps, slippery and hazardous. Toilet and bathroom really dirty. Breakfast had mould on avacado (sic) and tomato. Mosquito bites galore.”
